We have been trying to get into a regular routine with all of our subjects. This week has had a lot of fun activities, but were able to get to every subject everyday.
Reading: We finished up talking about decoding strategies and started the very first part of writing a summary this week. We tried to write about the setting and the characters. Most of the groups just copied what I wrote as we discussed the story together in small groups.
Math: In math we have been drilling and playing games on +10 or -10 and "Friends of 10". We started to add 2 digits together that the outcome is larger than 10. But our strategy was to make one number a friendly 10 then add. We also did a worksheet to help us understand the position of numbers on the hundreds chart.
Social Studies: We are working on our map unit and figuring out where each of us fit into our big world. We made a map of our home, neighborhood, and school. When we finished it we got to put a stamp in our Passport books.
Science: We are just waiting for our chrysalis to turn into a Monarch Butterfly.
Some of the children need to work on writing complete sentences and the usage of their sight words. They will be tested on them every Friday. Also our math drill test are on Wednesdays. Many of the students have been doing a great job on their "Fry Phrases", be sure to help them at home with math facts and Fry Phrases.
You have wonderful children.
